"No need to invent a shady conspiracy theory here"?

You are aware we're talking about the CIA here? I'm supposed to believe it's unreasonable to think CIA people would smear a guy they personally and collectively hate?

Okay, so, where is your evidence of this?

Much like a fresh account created to defend the CIA's honour, the CIA does not get the benefit of doubt that they would NOT lie to hurt a guy they hate.

No evidence to offer? Not even a scrap? Thought not. Shadowy conspiracy theory it is then.
